So with all the excitement in the release of the new device, have we had a chance to look into converting the device to an International Version (like here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307). How can I help? I have a device on the way and am happy to do some testing.
You just have to wait for the msm software to be updated with the appropriate firmware for the oneplus 7 PRO. As soon as that comes out im flashing.

Ditto. T-Mobiles customizations suck.
Waiting
I'm waiting till it can be rebranded so I could buy mine from TMobile

Thanks for the info. I'm sure I'll love it till then, but much prefer the international software.
I want to see it flashed first before I get it thru TMobile.

Hi Oneplus Community!
I have some questions before buying Oneplus 7 tomorrow.
• I'll be getting the GM1900 which is Chinese Model but the seller said that it has already been flashed to OxygenOS, I will not encounter any update issue or update will be delay right if I'll get this one?
• Banking Apps should work fine after flashing OxygenOS to GM1900 model? or it will not work because of root or unlock bootloader? (I'm really sorry since I don't have any information about these)
• I'll be upgrading from Galaxy S8+ to Oneplus 7 will there be a huge difference in daily usage performance?
I can't get the Global version in my country(Philippines) because it is not officially released here and in the future once it will be released it will be troublesome to get one because in my region they don't stock Oneplus that much. So I'll be getting the Chinese Model to a non-official store in my place.
Hello my friend!
Last year when OnePlus released the android Pie HydrogenOS for the OnePlus 5T (the chinese version of the OS), there were some problems with the device. No Playstore installed, some firmware issues (force closed etc not necessarily related to the beta) and also there weren't any google apps (easy to install though). We had to install TWRP to install the HydrogenOS beta, root the device, unlock the bootloader etc.
Why am i telling you these? Because probably they will send you a device with unlocked bootloader etc (I said probably, not sure ). So you will have to ask them how the installed the firmware.
Yes. The OP7 is a beast. I got mine yesterday and it's a great device. Once you get a OnePlus you will not buy another phone, trust me on this one.
Wait some days to see if the oneplus becomes official to your country too and also ask the retailer those information so that you can be sure that the device you are about to buy is not messed up

Oh that is very scary since I'm not that expert on the customization of android how can I check the bootloader status if its unlock or not?
Lastly, even if they flash OxygenOS from HydrogenOS updating it to the next OS will make my device revert its OS to the original and default for GM1900 which is HydrogenOS? Please enlighten me. They are claiming that it is a Global ROM btw.
Thank you for the heads up!

Well, you can't check it until you have the device. It could be the Global ROM but i think that they have to make some changes in order to modify it. No, it won't revert to the HydrogenOS after installing an update afaik.
How much does it cost? There isn't another retailer or another online shop from where you can buy the European model?

It costs ₱25,990 or around 500 USD pretty cheap though yeah this store I'm going to get one is somehow popular here in my location they offer products that the official market doesn't. If I have to wait for the official Oneplus 7 in my country my estimate will be in September or October if they are going to release it in my country even the 7 Pro was officially launched here in the Philippines, our authorized seller(Store A) in my place of Oneplus doesn't even have the stock of Oneplus 7 Pro they say it will be arriving mid or late July (sucks) so its really hard in my situation right now to get an official one they only offer a Oneplus 6T right now which costs around 550 USD. So I have to get the Oneplus 7 on the (Store B) who is selling the GM1900 model which is modified to OxygenOS. Btw these chinese model are also popular here in my country because it is cheaper than the official one around 10-30% price difference (base on our oneplus community facebook group). Only bad thing if I get from (Store B) is that they only offer 3 months warranty and if it is bound for replacement they are going to send it back and have it diagnose before they will give me a replacement hopefully I won't get there.
Will work fine, same hardware and bands as in EU version. Using China 256/8GB version in EU, no issues at all.
If you want the european one then order it to an european country and then use this service. https://www.parcl.com/ (if products are not available to order in your country yet, just order to this companys hq from some EU country and they will ship it to you)
Hey @cheschanco I don't know whether you have made your decision of not, if they have already installed Oxygen is, you can get the device. Don't worry about bootloader lock/unlock it doesn't have to do anything with updates unless you are rooted. If you still want locked bootloader there is simple command for that and is one step process you don't have to be an expert for that.
Although you will still receive all the oos updates nevertheless. Now coming to the device. This has by far the best device OnePlus has made in terms of price and performance. Camera quality is identical to op7pro - wide angle. Just go for it.

I already got the device and yes it comes with OxygenOS with it. I guess I will not mess with those settings anymore anyway is it ok to keep the factory OS which is 9.5.2 I'm still hesitating to update because of some bugs and battery drain according to other users and with my current OS I don't notice any bugs so I'm going to stick with this one. Yeah correct huge improvement specially in gaming performance compare to my S8+ looks like a 150% difference.

The versions are different for the Pro and non Pro. 9.5.5 non Pro firmware is the same camera update that was released in 9.5.7 Pro firmware.

There are no issues with banking apps provided you don't root. If you do root, then there are still workarounds.

So when I got my tmobile One Plus 7 Pro I flash the internatinal firmware on it so I could get faster updates, I now just got the Note 10 and have to trade in my One Plus 7 Pro. Can someone link the page/Guide to flash back to the tmobile firmware? I knew there was a way I just cant find the page anymore. Thanks!

I prefer the Google version instead of OnePlus shelf. My other phone is a global OnePlus 7 Pro and I'm not missing anything. In fact, I'm on a newer security patch on the TMobile OnePlus 8 5G.

Have fun!
it is still possible to convert a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro to an International Version, I was doing some research and trying to find a why to remove Oneplus 7 pro T-Mobile bloatware and thats when I came across this post:
It's now possible for the T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro to install international firmware without waiting
If you have a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro, there's some good news. You can now install international firmware on it without waiting to SIM unlock.
www.xda-developers.com
this was great and all however this was back in 2019, I followed a video tutorial were that post was used and I even tried it for myself but in the video the guy had a lot of other files that were not there when I tried to download them. If you guys get a chance I would love to know if it is still possible for me to remove the T-Mobile bloatware at the present day, thank you.
I just went through the guide yesterday! It still works. I did have issues with drivers,(updating through windows update fixed) getting stuck where it wouldn't find the device in EDL mode.
If you need any help let me know

Hi all,
I have searched on many threads on XDA and even other sources, but I can't find a solid answer, I don't like to create new threads, but in this case, I had to.
I am going to buy the Chinese variant of the OnePlus 8T, which is advertised to be shipped with Hydrogen OS. I have seen many guides and videos on how to switch to Oxygen OS and it seems very easy and straightforward.
My only concern is, that I will have to root the device (using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...in-eu-us-kb2000-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/ ) and I am unsure how to return the device to stock.
From what I have read, the KB2000 Chinese variant does give a crashdump error if you use the normal MSM Download tool made for the global devices to flash the Chinese variant, because it shipped with Hydrogen OS, and not Oxygen OS.
Now I read on this thread that this is the working version of the MSM Tool for the Chinese KB2000 Hydrogen OS devices.
A few people confirmed that this is indeed working, but I am importing this phone to South Africa, and just want some extra peace of mind before I make the purchase.
My apologies if someone feels I created this post unnecessarily, but I am willing to write a guide for the Chinese version on how to return it to stock to help somebody else out there.
I will truly appreciate it if somebody can shed some light on this thread.
Thanks a lot everyone!

To return to stock you can use latest HydrogenOS MSM or OxygenOS MSM tools or even flash unpacked firmware files directly from fastbootd.

The difference is only in HOS version.
If your phone is made after march 2021, i suggest using latest one HOS MSM (google link).

I think returning to stock HOS or OOS is not such a problem.
Look more precisely on other things like carrier support of chinese version (KB2000) in your country, especially if you're going to use 5G, because chinese version has different LTE/5G bands, so it may not reach max internet speed your carrier provides.
